Description of CryptoWall from a victim
“When CryptoWall is installed it will scan your computer for data files and encrypt them. It will then create files containing ransom instructions in every folder that it had encrypted a file. These ransom notes are DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.HTML, DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.TXT, and the DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION URL shortcut to the decryption service. Each of these files contains instructions on how you can access the CryptoWall Decrypt Service, which is located at hxxps://kpai7ycr7jxqkilp.torexplorer.com/ URL, and pay the ransom. The ransom is currently set to 500 USD and is payable with Bitcoins. The amount of Btcoins required will change based on their current price.”
